CHAPTER

Tutankhamen's Tomb

There's one other really touching object from the tomb which again I love because it speaks to Tutankhamen the person. You have to imagine that as a royal prince growing up at the royal court of his father he probably didn't see much of his parents like royal princes and princesses throughout history. But very similar to the current king of England who spent more time with his grandmother than with his parents when he was a young boy and remained devoted to his grandmother throughout his life. It kind of again brings his face to face with the human behind the mask if you like.
